Pain Is Control

My only friend is pain existing in shadow of a fear fear of insignificance hurting and attacked lying in defense works are in motion ; grinding their gears Looking back, I never had a chance. The oppressors are winning lying and manipulating piping their pipe, and dancing their dance. The systems pressure has me breaking torturous, unbearable, intolerable and yet we allow it to control us. breathing its greed through us. Revolt. question everything come to conclusions on your own. Be a renegade, find your own way The rules to out grow To be an individual one day. 09-07-2009 by J.R. Thornton
